A big part of internal communications planning involves managing an editorial calendar with lots of engaging content ideas. Content is king when it comes to your digital workspace.
Planning takes up a lot of time so we thought we would help you out by providing a list of engaging content ideas organised by month.
January
They say social accountability is the best way to get people to modify their behaviour. What better way than to get people to commit their personal resolutions by sharing them with their co-workers?
February
February is Valentine’s month. Get to know co-workers a little bit better by sharing photos of your significant others in Yammer or similar social channels.
March
Spring Fun Run - Do you have a group of active runners at work? Ask them to organise a fun run your company can sponsor and participate in. The community engagement will benefit the company and employees will accomplish finish line goals with one another.
April
Best April fools jokes could be shared but keeping in mind that they may need to be reviewed.
April is National Pet month in the UK so get staff to share some cute photos.
May
May is National Pet month in the US, so continue the fun by getting staff in this region to share some cute photos.
June
Promote volunteer opportunities in time for summer or the rest of the year.
July
Snap "behind the scenes" moments. Whether your business is in the factory, or in the boardroom, there are behind the scenes moments that would be fascinating to your audience.
Show ‘Where It’s Made’ or ‘How it Happened’ or what it really looks like behind the scenes.
August
Organise a company cook-off. You may already have a dedicated social channel for this but use it to encourage people can cook, post, and swap recipes. Or formalise a company event.
September
Most are back from holiday this month, so why not encourage holiday pictures shared in the relevant social channel (we use Yammer). The best holiday pictures can then be featured on the homepage.
October
People are already dressing up and showing off their best Halloween costumes. Take advantage of this and use this content idea to drive traffic.
November
Looking back this year, what are you most proud of accomplishing? What are you looking forward to next year? Expect participation from everyone.
December
Giving Tuesday or a Christmas jumper competition and fundraise at the same time for "Christmas Jumper Day".
And remember those New Year’s resolutions? Time to see if anyone kept them!
Want more content ideas?
Try a skills exchange program, gardening tips, or a fitness challenge or introduce themed days of the week on your company intranet. "Throwback Thursday" is one of the most popular hashtags used on social media platforms. You can do a #PhotoFriday, #MondayMeals, or #80sDay something more specific to your company culture. Create a space or a discussion forum where employees can share their posts.
The ideas are endless. The important thing is to structure your content planning and to use your digital workspace to connect your co-workers.
